SKB2 75% layout

I have put together a simple google form to check what kind of 75% layout you would prefer to see for the SKB2 version.
Probably not all mentioned versions would be possible to realize, but anyway, good to know and multivote is possibel.
So to those who are interested in SKB2 and 75%, please fill out the form:

Just FYI on the Google form, version C & D function rows are wrongly separated, I think?

Should be F4 <break> F5, right?

it does not HAVE to be like that but it is usually done with the seperation between F4/F5 and F8/F9, yes. I would say this detail does not matter for this vote. it is just for me to get directions where to steer this.

EDIT:
ok, I quickly added the separation to version D, thanks' for mentioning.

EDIT2:
oh, now I get what you mean regarding version C, yes, that was a mistake. I corrected that as well, thanks again ;)

Would it be possible to do a poll on TKL layouts as well? Wanted to bring up the possibility of the h88 again as they're regularly scheduled for preorder and we could get that sweet F13 action. 1800 format also looks dope btw.

The F-row in D layout: should be in 4, 4, & 4 cluster I believe?

At least with the 1800, you'll be getting my money again... as long as I have saved up, I hope.

poll for TKL? are there more layouts than standard/WKL x ANSI/ISO ?

Yessirrr. H87 is definitely the standard go-to, but Hineybush has been actively producing the PCBs for the Jane V2 CE which has the F13 key. Link - https://hineybush.com/collections/all-products/products/h88?variant=31083606769766

This layout would be an insta insta cop for me.  :cool:

Edit - He also has his PCB model files public and I'd be more than happy to provide a cut file if I'm the only weirdo vying for this option.

WKL blockers would depend on the case. with the 75% google-form, I only want to get an idea which PCB might be the best option for most of you. any of the options there, may or may not come with or without WKL blockers. same with ANSI/ISO or different bottom row options. that's not what this form wants to check for. just what PCB might be the most popular to be housed by an SKB2-75.

SKB2 75% based on votes

OKAY, clear favorite so far for a 75% is version D. a PCB for this versions does not exist so far, afaik. had no time for renderings, this is a simpler visualization, but should be ok for a first impression. the partly blocked nav column was just a quick idea. 12 degree angle. added the new F13, which has so many friends here. case color is RAL9002 again. cap set is from an old IC for an MOD kit that never happened, but will maybe find the time to pick it up again.

Is the layout for D final? I was hoping that the space between Esc and F1 is reduced from .5u to .25u so that there is a .25u space between F12 and F13

final?! nooo, like I said, not even a PCB for this exists. getting it made is not out of question, though. but we need to wait for more votes on 75%. yes, I initially had the 0.25U space between Esc / F1 and F13 as orphan. but then felt sorry for the lonely F13 and grouped it to the F-cluster before it, that's why  Esc / F1 got the 0.5U space. but the other way might be better.

Not sure if this will answer your question, but I don't use it as an F13 key. I map it as a Print Screen.

oh that was a short poll! read it yesterday but was planning to reply today. I have a strong preference for the last layout (70%) because it would look aesthetic af with the exposed screws, which like with your prototype in the OP would be symmetrically aligned with the keys. on the bottom with the 7u spacebar and on the top with the spacing between the F keys. aesthetically speaking it's the best choice imo!

I would kill for option E without the arrows - so basically a 60 with staggered / seperated F-Row, something that seems to be almost nonexistent, which always blows my mind - would be the perfect gaming keyboard, as many games utilies F-Keys AND number keys...

What you said makes a lot of sense, I'd prefer it with the arrows but I would also consider this. Not interested in more traditional 75%s myself.

1800, very few voted for it in the IC form.
but maarten does make 1800 PCBs, so it would be possible. I asked him, we could offer them along a possible SKB2-1800 version.
here you can get an idea of how it would look like:

F YES!! :eek:

Haven't had time yet to go properly trough the thread yet..
look so F'ing dope Plastik! i sincerely love my SKB's and are still making mod's on them :)

I would take the 1800 anyday, and since i already have a 1800 PCB coming from Maarten hehehe

Update, new renderings, colors:

Tried different RAL colors, not easy to find something intense that goes well with not just one particular keycap set. I tried to match RAL colors to GMK colors that are often found in colorful sets. TU2 can be found in lots of sets and RAL6027 fits quite well. I pared it with GMK Honeywell, which does not use exactly TU2 but a similar color. SKB2-75 according to what the 75%-IC-form says most of you would like. Again, the right single column nav could also go all the way down, I like it this way. Angle is at 12 degree.
So here is SKB2-75 in RAL6027/Glossy:

230104-0 230106-1 230108-2

Then I looked for an intense red. RAL3028 should go well with GMK RO1, P3, V1 and RO2 or other reds. Honeywell ist also available with red accents, so I used that again.
Here is SKB3-75 in RAL3028/Glossy:

230098-3 230100-4 230102-5

Since I didn't like the matte black finish of one of the first prototypes, I thought I might try glossy black. I think this would be very nice with a lot of sets, any WoB of course, here something that is similar to GMK Demonic. Possible SKB2-65, also 12 degree angle.
SKB2-65 in RAL9005/Glossy:

230110-6 230112-7 230114-8 230116-9

Then I redid the TKL versions. Now the function row is offset by only 0.25U like most other custom cases. In the renderings I showed before it was an offset of 0.5U like OEMs do it. Also demonstrating glossy black, this time with a classic WoB set and CMY modifier. Angle is set to 10 degree.
SKB2-TKL in RAL9005/Glossy:

230118-10 230120-11 230122-12 230124-13

Now the TKL in glossy white, should frame any intense color very well, imo. Obviously a BoW set would make very much sense.
SKB2-TKL in RAL9010/Glossy:

230126-14 230128-15 230130-16 230132-17

Continued in the next post...

...new renderings and colors continued:

A combination I had previously rendered, RAL9002 in fine structure combined with GMK9009 on a standard 60%. Angle is set to 8 degree.
SKB2-60 in RAL9002/Feinstruktur:

230138-0 230140-1 230142-2

Same for an HHKB version at 10 degree angle.
SKB2-60-HHKB in RAL9002/Feinstruktur:

230144-3 230146-4 230148-5

What do you think?
Next I need to decide which versions to make as next prototypes and get it done in CAD (almost!). Then decide which colors they will get.

YES, check out the start post, the prototype in the photos!
Also the last two shown rendered versions are also supposed to be "feinstruktur" - it's written there.
There is also a second prototype that was done in matte black, like mentioned above, here again the link.
There is no decision on colors made jet, except for RAL9002-Feuinstruktur. Three color option will probably be the max I can manage. Still just tying stuff out.

I've been following this IC with a lot of joy. PlastikSchnittstell, you seems to know very well what your talking about, and the method to give us options is very solid. Thanks for sticking to your vision.

Your black glossy renders looks very nice, but subjectively seems to me more semi-gloss that really glossy (I speak from a graphic designer perspective). Which isn’t a bad thing if you don’t want to clean your case every five minutes. I guess we could speak about the glossy levels later on.

Since, I’m more used to Pantone references than RAL, could you tell us if the white is a neutral bright as it seems on the last glossy renders or warmer with a very little hint of yellow as it seemed in the prototypes original pictures? I guess it’s the latest but just want to be sure.
 
Finally about colors: your design choices don’t speak the same langage to me when it comes to the red or blue popping and glossy options. But, hey, I’m already happy with a white and black option, that let your design shines.
Imo, a saturated color would have to be in line with an industrial or Bauhaus/Modernist colors family.
It’s also the reason why stainless steal could be a very strong and uncommon option (but would raise questions on the feel and look of the case, and its way of aging.)

Pardon this long reply, I’m very digging your IC (in the case of a 1800 layout option, I could invest in a 75 and a 1800.)

Tried to find it, but either I didn't try hard enough, or there's really no such info: what's the size of the screws that are used to mount the plate? I guess, it's either M3 or M4?
I was thinking about using spanner head screws to achieve more industrial look.

This is probably an impossible dream but a color-matched pair of SKB2 & RGBKB Sol 2 (https://www.rgbkb.net/products/sol-2-bent-steel-frame?variant=29519804071997) bent steel cases would make my GMK Oblivion V2 keycaps very happy.

If worse comes to worse, I could always bead-blast the paint off and take both to a local powder coating place. Or just use spray paint.

**** I love the screws with the symmetry of the hhkb. super interested in this awesome project and probably going to build a boardwalk, hhkb or the 70% if it's popular enough to get made.

I really like how toe RAL6027 color pops but is also muted at the same time. You've got my vote for that color. Side note, I think your images are swapped since the red renders are under the RAL6027 line and the light green renders are under the RAL3028 line.

A Black TKL, either matte or glossy, is something I'm watching very closely.
